6 servings
For the roasted garlic
- 2 heads garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
For the popovers
- 1 cup whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ½ tsp salt
For the pan
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 12 small piecesChef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the garlic heads cut-side up in a small baking dish. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 40–45 minutes, until the cloves are deeply golden, completely soft, and a skewer slides through the center of a clove with no resistance. Set aside to cool slightly.

While the garlic roasts, make the popover batter. Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it is just warm to the touch, about 100°F (38°C) — not hot. Combine the warm milk, flour, eggs, melted butter, minced garlic, and 1/2 tsp salt in a blender and blend on medium speed for 15 seconds, until smooth and uniform. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
